Various sections under he Advanced Tab are explained as follows:
Transmit Power Level Displays the power levels in mW at 2.4 GHz and 5 Ghz frequency. Actual
transmit power may be limited by regulatory domain or hardware limitations.
Note that administrator has the privilege of locking these power levels, so that
these values are pre-selected and not editable.
Power Save Mode Specify:
• Maximum mode causes the access point to buffer incoming messages for
the wireless adapter. The adapter periodically polls the access point to see
if any messages are waiting.
• Normal uses maximum when retrieving a large number of packets, then
switches back to power save mode after retrieving the packets.
• Off turns power saving off, thus powering up the wireless adapter
continuously for a short message response time.
Network Type Specifies the network as either infrastructure (access point mode) or ad hoc.
Wireless Mode Includes the options:
• 5 GHz 300 Mbps
•5 GHz 54 Mbps
• 2.4 GHz 300 Mbps
• 2.4 GHz 54 Mbps
• 2.4 GHz 11 Mbps
The wireless adapter must match the wireless mode of the access point it
associates to. Selecting a wireless mode forces the USB adapter to work only
on the selected mode.
